the new constitution of the Associated Students was the chief item of interest at the Ex-Committee meeting on Tuesday night. Other maiteis taken up were the election committee report, and consideration of a letter from George Guttormsen, president of the Pacific Student Presidents’ Association, approving South cm California as the convention lo cation of that organization next June.-
After considerable discussion ot the Dental proposals as made Li President Tallman by the representatives of that school, and as out lined by Tallman to the committee, a motion was passed backing him and the administration in whatever he shall think best to do in the matter. There will probably be further consideration of the matter later in the year.
Regarding the matter of the student body presidents’ convention, invitations have been sent to each o: the thirty-two colleges in the association, and some sixty delegates are expected to attend.

It was also decided to adopt the old S. C. sticker of the round design but with a new Trojan head. The objection to the old head was that the model’s nose was not as it should be.
Mike Elwood appeared to report upon the Student Union, and said: “We expect to have ail the brickwork done September 1.” He also asked that more authority be given the Student Union Committee.

iTROJAN DEBATERS WIN FIFTH
CONSECUTIVE CONTEST IN NORTH*
Winning by a unanimous decision, the S. C. debate team defeated the University of Oregon Tuesday evening, according to a telegram received from Coach Alan Nichols yesterday.
In this debate the team, composed of Arthur Syvertson and William Henley, changed for a day the subject and debated on light wines and beer. The subject debated in the other contests was: “Resolved: That
Mussolini is a benefactor to Italy.”
The Trojan debate squad has won all but one of their debates this season. They lost, one to Willamette, but defeated them in a return contest on this northern trip. The next forensic will be with Oregon State at Corvallis, and from there the team will go to Utah to me?t three Utah colleges.
Greetings To Prep Yell Leaders.
Student Union Downtrodden.
Committee
Give Co-eds Their Due Today. Hopper Has a Real Job.
Skull and Dagger Pledges Congratulated.
Today we greet the delegates to the yell convention. If they do nothing else the time they spend here will be well put in if they return to their high schools with a higher ideal of sportsmanship. And Burdette Henney is the boy who can give them that... These fellows may not have much opportunity to be on the campus today, but we want them to know that the best we have is theirs.
* * *
Yes, the student union committee is having a terrible time. One faction on the campus wants the dining room to be the largest main floor room. Another is all for having the bookstore the principal thing. Still a third insists that it will not be a student union if the lobby is not the most prominent feature of the downstairs floor. And therefore the Executive Committee did the wise thing when it declined to try and take sides and turned the matter over to the special committee and the administration to work out in the best way possible, taking all the needs into consideration. The Executive Committee is to have its final “OK”, anyway.
* * *
The Trojan today is offering a page devoted to showing what the women are doing on the Southern California campus. Logically, this page should have come out in the co-ed edition of the Trojan, which is to come out a little later. But the feature editor had planned this for today. Maybe it will be a little more fitting for the regular staff to give the girls their due than to make them hand it to themselves. In any event, they are doing a good many worthwhile things on the campus which we feel they should get credit for.
* * *
We congratulate Stanley Hopper upon having had a man’s sized job wished off on him. The presidency of the “Y” is not appreciated as it should be. We do not rccall any editorial mention having been previously made of the job. Stan will not likely be pledged to Skull and Dagger and he will not receive a varsity sweater for his work. But if he has met the responsibilities that will devolve upon him he will come out a bigger man a year from June than he will be in September. Don Bailey has shown what the job should really mean. In the memory of the writer there has never been a “Y” president here who has not left his office a bigger one than he found it.
